1. First Sunday of Advent
Today marks the First Sunday of Advent, a significant time in Christianity as believers prepare their hearts for the coming of Christ. Advent symbolizes anticipation and hope, reflecting on both the birth of Jesus and His eventual return. Churches around the world lit the first candle on the Advent wreath, known as the “Candle of Hope,” which signifies the promise of the Messiah. This act is accompanied by Scripture readings from books such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Gospels, emphasizing vigilance and preparation for Christ’s return. Common themes include repentance, introspection, and readiness【16†source】【17†source】【18†source】.

Today’s readings often include:
- Isaiah 64:1-5, which expresses longing for God’s intervention in a broken world.
- Psalm 80, a plea for restoration and salvation.
- Mark 13:24-37, urging believers to stay alert for Christ’s return【16†source】【18†source】.
3. Advent Traditions
Churches and families participate in practices like the Jesse Tree, which tells the story of redemption through biblical symbols, and the Advent Wreath, progressively lit to signify growing anticipation for Christmas.
